Landlords sell up and fewer houses are available to rent. The tenants are still there though. People still need somewhere to live and demand isn't going anywhere. Low supply + high demand = higher rents. Every single time. So why do I think now is a good time to buy? Motivated sellers. Tired landlords want out. They're not holding out for top money they want a clean quick sale. That's where you negotiate properly. Tenanted stock and portfolios. More landlords are selling with tenants in situ or offloading several at once that means rent from day one and deals you'd never normally get a look at. Less competition. The casual landlords who got in because it looked easy are leaving free people bidding against you. Rents are only heading one way. Less supply and the same demand means your rental income is protected and likely growing. Everyone's scared. The best deals I've ever done were bought when the headlines were bad. When everyone's buying you end up overpaying. When everyone's running you buy well. The rules are tighter and the numbers have to work from day one. Buy right run it like a business and stay on top of the legislation. Do that and the fundamentals are firmly on your side. So where are you at 1️⃣ Thinking of selling up 2️⃣ Holding and riding it out 3️⃣ Still buying 4️⃣ Not started yet and wondering if it's too late Drop your number below.

Sundays are my reset day a bit of time with the family a brew and then 30 minutes sat down planning the week ahead that half hour on a Sunday has made me more money over the years than most of the deals I've done because it's where I decide what actually moves me forward and what's just distraction. My week just gone: ✍️ Signed for another 2 at the solicitors 📰 Watched the headlines tell everyone to sell up (you know my view on that 😂) 📊 Went through a stack of deals and binned most of them. The numbers have to work. This week: 📞 Our first live Zoom call is this Tuesday 17th November at 6pm. Bring your questions your deals and your problems. Nothing's off the table finance, refurbs, legislation, finding deals, whatever's on your mind. I'd love to see as many of you there as possible. Now over to you 👇 What's one thing you're going to get done in property this week? It doesn't matter how big or small. Booking a viewing, speaking to a broker, analysing your first deal, chasing a solicitor or just reading a course in the classroom. Put it in the comments. Saying it out loud in here makes you far more likely to do it. Have a good one.

You've viewed a terraced house that looks good on paper the numbers work if the refurb comes in where you expect on the second viewing you notice a damp patch in the back bedroom that you missed the first time the agent says there's another viewing booked for tomorrow. There's no single right answer and that's the point I'm more interested in how you'd think it through than what you'd decide. Some things to consider · What would you want to know before making any offer? · Who would you ask and what would you ask them? · Would the other viewing change how you approach it? Should it? What's the first thing you'd do next and why?
